From Sidelines to Skiing Slopes with The Healthy Mummy

At 47, Krista Hatzakortzian’s journey with The Healthy Mummy truly exemplifies the power of consistency and the transformative impact of small, sustainable changes. A mum of two, Krista’s story is one of determination, gradual progress, and inspiring results.

From Sidelines to Centre Stage

For years, Krista watched The Healthy Mummy community from the sidelines. Two years ago, she decided to take the plunge and become an active member. This decision marked the beginning of a remarkable transformation that would see her lose 10kg and discover a new lease on life.

“Just get off the sidelines and start.”

A Journey of Steady Progress

Krista’s starting weight was 80.9kg. Through dedication and consistent effort, she brought that down to 70.3kg over six months. But for Krista, the journey wasn’t just about the numbers on the scale. It was about feeling energised, confident, and capable of keeping up with her active family.

The Power of Community and Recipes

When asked about her favourite part of The Healthy Mummy program, Krista doesn’t hesitate to mention the community. The inspiration and support she’s found there have been invaluable. But it’s the recipes that have truly transformed her daily life.

Krista’s top five Healthy Mummy recipes really show the variety and flavour that have made her journey enjoyable:

1. No-bake berry cheesecake
2. One-pan sundried tomato chicken
3. Ravioli
4. Beef and mushroom pies
5. Kentucky chicken burgers

A Day on Krista’s Plate

Krista’s typical day is a perfect example of balanced, nutritious eating:

• Breakfast: Yoghurt or a smoothie
• Lunch: A salad or corn thins with cold meat and tomato
• Dinner: A Healthy Mummy meal or meat with salad
• Snacks: A variety of fruit, protein bars, banana bread, muffins or popcorn

This balanced approach ensures Krista gets a variety of nutrients while enjoying foods she loves.

Moving for Joy and Fitness

Exercise plays a crucial role in Krista’s newfound energy and fitness. Her favourite workouts from The Healthy Mummy include:

1. Wall Pilates
2. Tabata boxing
3. Yoga

This mix of high-intensity, strength, and flexibility work has contributed to Krista being the “fittest she’s ever been”.

The Healthy Mummy Difference

Krista’s favourite Healthy Mummy product is the premium smoothies, and it’s no wonder – our Premium Meal Replacement Smoothie is created by Nutritionists and Food technologists. Formulated with essential vitamins, minerals, nutrients & antioxidants, it can provide you with the boost you need to revolutionise your health and weight loss. Quick and easy to prepare – just shake and go!

Krista loves their versatility and convenience, typically enjoying them with oat milk and frozen berries.

Beyond the Scale: Life-Changing Results

Krista’s transformation extends far beyond weight loss. She now has more energy and is the fittest she’s ever been. This newfound vitality has allowed her to fully participate in her family’s active lifestyle. Last summer, she even learned to wakeboard!

One of Krista’s most significant non-scale victories has been dropping 2-3 dress sizes. She relishes being able to choose something from her cupboard and just wear it, a stark contrast to her previous struggle of trying on multiple outfits to feel happy in just one.

Krista’s Top Tips for Mums Starting Their Journey

1. “Just get off the sidelines and start.”
2. “Start gradually making small changes and adding more once they become habits.”
3. “The weight didn’t go on overnight so won’t come off overnight. Scales are not everything, make sure you take photos and measurements.”

Staying on Track

When motivation wanes, Krista has a powerful strategy: she thinks about her ‘why’ and where she came from. This reflection on her journey and her reasons for starting helps her regain focus and continue moving forward.
